Speculation surrounding Brown's trade potential generated buzz as the offseason approached. Brown's next move was to explore free agency after completing his one-year deal with the Denver Nuggets. The Orlando Magic was suggested as a potential landing spot for the versatile guard-forward by Bleacher Report.

Brown played a crucial role in the Nuggets' playoff and championship runs, often closing games alongside the team's starters. His skill set and fit within the Denver system make him an ideal asset for the team. However, retaining him may pose challenges for the Nuggets.

If the Nuggets wish to retain Brown and offer a higher salary, they would need to make adjustments to their payroll to accommodate his contract within the projected tax apron of $169 million. It remains to be seen whether Brown will prioritize financial incentives or opt to continue his successful tenure with the Nuggets.
